This conference addressed a
range of critically important themes relating to TRIZ today. It was a place
to present new results, ideas and insights and engage to numerous
discussions on subjects presented and beyond. The conference was a
cross-disciplinary forum which brings together researchers, consultants,
teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and future of TRIZ. The
resulting conversations covered a broad range of theoretical, empirical,
research, application, educational and market topics.

The conference had
two main tracks: a research track with contributions oriented towards
research results and theoretical developments and a practitioner’s track
dedicated to real life applications.

The event provided a
number of pre-conference workshops and The TRIZ Developers Summit on
September 3, 2014, and its last day was allocated to the
MATRIZ Congress and defense of theses for a certification on Level 5 of
MATRIZ certification system: TRIZ Master.
